The consumption of fossil fuels leads to increases environmental degradation. This will increase demand for hydrogen fuel cell technology. However, the voltage produced from this source is less therefore it requires boost converter which steps up the low voltage to high voltage for electric vehicle applications. This paper introduces the hybrid boost converter with high voltage gain which is extracted from single phase diode clamped three level inverter. The present converter is non isolated type, which means no EMI problems. In addition to this the voltage across the power switches will be half of the output voltage, which minimizes converter peak current, ripple content in the output voltage with the help of inductor and switched capacitors. The effectiveness of present converter is observed with MATLAB/Simulink platform. Finally, the obtained results are discussed.
